How do you propose Warehouse should publish the static metadata? How should distlib abstract over the different metadata formats? Or perhaps I should just drop the whole section about "pysdist.json" files? It's orthogonal to the essential purpose of the PEP, and it seems to be confusing people more than it's helping (we *can* put these files in the sdists they describe, but we don't *have* to).
